Muffins for the Birds

There has been lots of activity at the suet feeder lately.  The last time I made the all season suet I used my muffin tins to form the shapes instead of rolling it around in my hands to make small balls.   I also added some black oil sunflower seeds.  They turned out great.  Once the muffin tins were filled I popped them into the freezer for awhile.  When they were frozen into shape they popped out easily to be stored in a zip lock bag.  Delicious bird muffins.

When the suet basket needs filling, I just take out 3 bird muffins and pop them into the feeder.

It doesn’t take long for the birds to flit in to this feeder once it is hanging outside.  There are …

… house sparrows

… juncos

… the chickadee and

… a tree sparrow.

They all seem to like their own bird muffins.

Here is my all season suet and  bird cake recipe.
